Teorie zmizení – Brejšová Lucie (2024)

A thrilling story of a fifty-year-old woman who decides to look beyond the horizon of her current life. ***** Marie lives in the Belleville district, where Edith Piaf was born and where there is one bakery for every fifteen Parisians. She sees her adult children on weekends, her quirky friend Eva on Thursdays, and goes to exhibitions with Monika, a colleague from the translation agency. She doesn't address her addiction to Italian coffee and rhubarb cakes, isn't looking for a partner, and spices up her calm life as a fifty-something by reading travel magazines and dreaming of distant lands. Until the day she decides to disappear from her life. "Have you gone mad?!" Eva exclaims when she realizes that her best friend is not joking. Yes, Marie may have gone crazy. But maybe not. What led her to such a crazy decision? Why did she dare to escape from her beloved home, give up her family, her stability, and her job, and stage her own death? A psychological novel about the search for the boundary between free will and selfishness, about the undercurrents of interpersonal relationships, and about the obsessions that prevent us from living.
